About: I’ve had pets most of my life… I’ve had dogs, cats, bunnies and guinea pigs. I’ve house sat which included farm animals. I am patient and willing to give all my love to any animal even if they aren’t mine. I am a student so I would come between classes, before classes, and after to take care of any pets. I do not have a full time job. I want to work with whatever you have at your house. I will make sure that all of your rules are followed, and that your fur babies are well taken getting care of.

“Our girls were well taken care of during our trip. Sandy kept us updated and took great pics. She is very sweet and we feel like our girls were much more relaxed with her. Sandy even left them cute Christmas bandanas!”

“Kim did an awesome job taking care of our 4 cats and was very understanding of our one cat that is a bit ill right now. Great communication with her when we were gone and loved the pics she sent. I would definitely use her again when we go on a trip again. Thank you Kim.”

About: Hello, I'm Amy !!, I have two beautiful daughters, 2 chihauhaus and 2 cats. My first job at 16, was a dog kennel attendant, in Kenosha. After that I completed the Tom Rose Dog Training School program, near St. Louis MO. Graduating in 2006. I've been a certified dog groomer, for over 15 years, with 600hrs of grooming training. Spent several years working at an animal sancuary in Oklahoma, before moving back up north. I've loved animals my whole life, and believe in honesty, hard-work and showing kindness, to every living creature. It is very important to me, to have good communication skills, when caring for your pets and home, so i can give, the best care to your fur~babies. Hoping to help you out, with whatever I can ♡ thank you I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets, my schedule is flexible to be able to work with you well Every home I enter I will show all the animals, the love and kindness they deserve. Able to follow directions and can administer medications or special instructions as needed

About: I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care for dogs of all breeds and sizes, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I follow each dog's routine closely, including feeding, walks, exercise, playtime, and companionship, while giving them the patience and attention they deserve. I take pride in building trust with both pets and their owners through clear communication, dependability, and a genuine passion for animal care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care. I am able to accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, walks, litter box maintenance, and any special care needs. Whether it's a daily visit or extended care while owners are away, I make pet care a priority and ensure each pet receives the attention, companionship, and reliability they deserve. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my client's home, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, companionship, and any other care instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to each pet's personality and needs, ensuring they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and attention while maintaining a safe and clean environment. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and stress-free while their family is away.

About: I have 4 of my own fur babies all under 20lbs. I have a fenced yard and love watching them run around and play. I live in a safe neighborhood where walks are easy and fulfilling. I have recently helped neighbors with their dogs and realized how much I enjoy playing with other dogs. I know how much it means to me when my dog sitter really pays attention to my dogs while I'm away and hope to bring that comfort to your fur baby when your away too! I'm self employed so I have a wide variety scheduling freedom. I am best with last minute or day before day care or pop in visit. Even if you just need a couple hours or quick potty pop in. A days notice is probably best for me since my schedule can change from day to day. I have a fenced in yard and 4 pups ready for play time! I have had dogs with dietary needs and medications. I enjoy playing games and teaching tricks or just cuddling.

“Benjamin took excellent care of our cat and bearded dragon while we were out of town this past weekend. He was very friendly, responsive, and gave us great updates. Our pets were in good hands! Will 100% be booking him again!”

About: I am an active educator working with elementary aged students 10 months out of the year for the past sixteen years. However, I also have a special place in my heart for animals of all kinds. I have a particular interest and skillset working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments and have over 10 years of experience walking shelter dogs in my community. I have been passionate about dogs since I was a young girl, and when I finally got my own dog at the age of twelve, my desire to learn more about them and how to best care for them grew exponentially. Volunteering in the shelter environment, I have honed my skills in reading dog body language, creating safe walking environments, understanding and communicating health concerns, and handling boisterous, reactive, or fearful behaviors with calm kindness and care. Behavior is communication and I use my expertise as an educator to best care for and enrich the lives of the animals around me. I also adopted my own dog as adult from the humane society in 2018, who came with her own unique personality and behaviors such as reactivity, anxiety, dog reactivity, low confidence, and over-excitable drive. Throughout our eight years together, we have developed a strong bond and communication style that has brought her to achieving her Canine Good Citizen Certificate, and become a calm, confident, well-balanced dog. She also has learned how to communicate with me through augmentative and alternative communication buttons and express her personality in words I can understand which has been mind blowing! I love giving her the best life possible and I’m excited to support you and your furry friend along that journey as well during our time working together. I’m currently an educator who works full-time 10 months out of the year, but am available evenings and weekends. However, during the months of June and July I am available during the mornings, afternoons, or evenings and have a flexible schedule to accommodate you and your pet’s specific needs. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to allow your dog time to run and play freely or just bask in the summer sunshine. My dog needs multiple, slow introductions to new dogs, so if you are in need of overnight care, additional meet and greet walks would be required to make sure they are a good fit together before any bookings.

About: I grew up with pets, I have 3 dogs my oldest one is 11. I watch over a friend's dogs as of right now. I'll be able to walk your dog however long you would need me to and make sure they have water and are fed if needed. If there's any messes I see around I'll clean them up. My friend has a cat and I love going over to his house to pet her. she's grown a liking to me and I have to her as well, I give her treats time to time and pet her a lot. I don't know how to clean a litter box. but I can definitely give your cat some quality time and play, feed the cat and make sure they have water. I always make sure my pets have water, especially after a walk or if it's a hot day out. Love to play with my dogs and lay with them in the couch.

“Hannah was professional and responsive throughout the visits for our plethora of cats. She successfully navigated a power outage at our home and took the initiative to fill water bowls after their bubbler lost power. She communicated throughout the visit and did a great job, our cats were in good hands!”

About: I have one dog and one cat that tend to stay upstairs. I absolutely love animals, So I hope to have my own little hobby farm one day. If your pet is in my home, please know they’ll always feel loved, safe and most likely tired out from all out walks. I believe humans and animals benefit from exercise which helps with behavior, same for humans. So bring your pup to me, and they’ll be tired for you:) Also, I have a special place in my heart for special-needs animals that need a little extra love and patience. I have been doing dog-watching for the past four years, in addition to working part-time for 10 years. I work at a school right down the road, which is perfect for dog watching. I leave at 7am, and I’m back by 11am each day. I do boarding, play dates, pickups, drop-ins, and trips to the dog park. I have a fenced-in yard, so your dog may play, run, or simply get some fresh air. I spend my time walking dogs, feeding them, playing, cuddling, kisses, relaxing on the porch and constantly opening and closing the door so they can go outside. Ha! It’s my life, and I truly love it.

About: Hi there! I’m Alyssa, an experienced dog mama and pet lover! After 12 years together, our family had to say goodbye to our two sweet angel fur babies this past year, who were truly part of our family. Due to this heartbreak, we know we’re not ready to welcome a new pet of our own anytime soon, but we DO have a lot of LOVE to give to your babies! I miss having animal energy around, and I genuinely need to have my “pup cup” routinely filled! I’m offering pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits to treat your pets like I would my own. Whether it’s snuggles, a neighborhood walk, or playing fetch, I’ll make sure your baby feels safe while you’re away. I’m a nurse, so you can feel confident that your pets are in capable and nurturing hands. I truly understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your animals, and I’d be honored to be that person for you! I work part-time, usually only 2-3 days a week, so I have plenty of extra time to spend with your babies! I also understand doggies with separation anxiety and don’t like to be left alone for too long! We have a fenced in backyard and a cozy home! We also let pets on our furniture, so there will be plenty of cuddles! 🥰

“Maya is extremely dependable and responsive. She is cheerful and I feel safe having her take care of my Ollie. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—from small cats to large energetic dogs, and everything in between! With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. Whether I’m walking a high-energy pup, providing gentle care to a senior dog, or spending quiet playtime with a shy cat, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work a flexible schedule as a licensed esthetician and certified laser technician, which allows me to offer availability for pet care throughout the week. I am available for early morning walks and drop-in visits, evening care, overnight stays, and weekend bookings. On days when I don't have appointments scheduled, I often have additional daytime availability as well. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, feeding, or overnight companionship, I'm happy to accommodate their routine and provide reliable, attentive care. I care for pets in my home, which is set up to be safe, comfortable, and welcoming. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and a spacious downstairs area perfect for crates or quiet time when needed. Pets are welcome throughout the house and treated like part of the family. Whether they love to cuddle on the couch or need their own space, I tailor the environment to fit each pet’s personality and routine. Cleanliness, supervision, and safety are my top priorities—and of course, lots of love and attention!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 13 years old. Big, medium, and small. I’ve taken care of it all. It’s great. I’m currently working a full time job, but I work close enough to my home that I come home for lunch. So I like to take my dog out too and play for a little bit. 🥰🥰🥰 I have a semi fenced yard. Spacious for the dog to run and do it’s business. Spacious house for the dog to be comfortable ❤️

About: I have a deep love for dogs of all breeds and would be thrilled to care for your furry friend while you’re away. With a lifetime of experience as a dog owner, I currently have three Airedales. Over the years, I’ve completed numerous obedience classes with my dogs, and I’m skilled at applying that knowledge to provide quality care. I’m experienced in raising puppies, including training basic commands, potty training, and leash walking. My one-year-old is even competing in dock diving and barn hunting, which highlights my commitment to providing enriching experiences for dogs. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, as my 11-year-old pup requires regular medical attention. In addition, I’m skilled in bathing and grooming, having always groomed my own dogs. I even have a grooming table, so your dog will receive top-notch care if required. As a stay-at-home mom with older adult kids and a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to walk, play with, or house-sit for your pups with all the attention they deserve. For your peace of mind, I’ll always walk your dog on a leash. If you have a fenced yard, we can enjoy a fun game of fetch. And if your pup needs to be crated when I leave, rest assured they’ll be content and happily exhausted after all the playtime!

About: I'm Julie (Jules), a graphic designer and creative director. I own a design and branding company in the Chicago/Milwaukee area that services clients locally, nationally and globally. I love all creative pursuits, including writing music for piano and singing. I've always loved all dogs, especially larger breeds (though the smaller pups are super cute and sweet and steal my heart equally!). My pup, Bella, a black lab mix, was a very kind, sweet and gentle dog. She passed in 2016 at age 14, having had a very nice life. I would love to help other fur babies who need caregiving while their humans are away or need a daily walk or check-in. I'm at home working during the week and have access to a wonderful backyard, an amazing neighborhood, and parks nearby. I love all outdoor activities, especially hiking and swimming. Would love to take your pups to the beach or on any sized walk they desire!! :) I offer these services because I love dogs, not to make a living. It's a great win/win to have a sweet fur baby around from time to time. Yes, it's nice to have some extra cash to work on the house, but my primary career more than covers my income needs. I share this info so you can be sure no other dogs will share your pup's time with me.* I keep to a strict policy of one-on-one care and up to two dogs from the same family... if you have more than two, please reach out, and I may be able to make exceptions. My rates reflect this customized care and focus for your sweet puppers! *In mid-2024, I started pairing up dogs that requested having another pup present from a different family. Please let me know if you are open to having a playmate for your pup. If you prefer no other dogs in the home while yours is here with me, I strictly adhere to your preferences and take this quite seriously. I specialize in customized care for dogs with behavioral issues such as not getting along with other dogs. Since my dog passed in 2016, I have been able to devote all my time to your pup when they're in my care. They will be carefully cared for and pampered, with every need catered to. The only thing I won't abide is a pup who isn't house-trained. If your dog/pup has never been left with a sitter before and you'd like to ensure they're a great house guest, I do suggest booking a 1-2 night stay much in advance of your trip so we can see if your pup has any specific issues to call out, and if I'm a good fit for them/you. I have found this to be of great benefit to you and me! I charge a cleaning fee IF your pup has "surprise" issues with incontinence, as this behavior can happen; however, I don't take on dogs with this issue unless we have a solution, like a doggy diaper or pee pads (for puppies). Severe separation anxiety can also be challenging, as my own pup had this issue. If there are situations such as this, I ask that you bring a crate, and the pup must be trained and be OK to be in their crate as needed. If no issues like these exist, they need to have their own bed or spot where they like to sleep. I don't allow dogs to sleep upstairs with me. Snuggling up on the sofa with a couple of pups is one of my favorite things to do. I know most dogs like a comfy bed. As noted above, please bring a fresh bed for your pet, either a cleaned dog bed from home or a new one. I have blankets for the floor and a lovely sofa that I cover with a blanket for the occasional daytime snooze. If you have an elderly dog, I know just what to do to provide the best care. As my dog Bella aged, I learned how to adapt every year. Listening to your dog and providing the best care is my priority. I realized that leaving an ailing or elderly pup in another person's care can be stressful. I would treat your dog like my own and hope to put your mind at rest. I welcome all questions as part of our meet + greet. I only sit for dogs I know or can meet during our meet + greet (unless out-of-town circumstances or timing prevail). I can sit at the last minute only for pups I've sat for previously or know well. If you are traveling from out of town and cannot sync up for a meet + greet, please reach out to discuss your situation. As far as breeds go, I have experience with an extensive range of breeds—larger breeds with special needs like an elevated dog water/food bowl due to how they process food or other breeds that are great with humans and not so wonderful with other dog breeds. I've had great results with training. I have experience with smaller breeds as well. As mentioned, I only sit for house-trained and well-behaved dogs in the home. I book up early... sometimes six months before a planned trip. Please plan ahead to secure your desired dates. I look forward to meeting your amazing pups soon!! Jules I'm home most of the time. I work days and some evenings but make my own schedule. I'm available as needed for all types of customized care. I have a lovely yard for dog play. I would love the same situation if I were dog-sitting in your home. My home is also in a very safe Hales Corners neighborhood. It has a low volume of car traffic and is very quiet.
